What one feels first is the pure existence of the self, without any idea, characteristic or movement - existence pure and simple, Sat Brahman - or else one feels that and a vast peace and wideness.

... so, it is a very general and, after all, an inadequate description. It has to be filled in and supplemented by other categories as well, if one may say so. For Sat-chit-ananda presents to us the Sat Brahman. There is also the Asat Brahman. And again Page 56 we must accept a reality which is neither Sat nor Asat— nasadasinno sadasit, says the Veda.

Afterwards the source of the trikaldrishti was seen, a coming movement of pranic energy, prepared in the sat-Brahman, latent both to the waking consciousness of the ant & my own, but caught by the vijnanamaya drishti. In another instance the same movement of energy was perceived in another ant and followed by an ...

Sat Brahman is always the base, but Ananta manifests normally in the Sat, Jnana now manifests less actively, but still normally in the Ananta. The Asat Brahma is behind & varies between Anandamay Asat in its ...
... reject it outright. The next step in Vedanta would be, when you have eliminated everything, reduced all to zero, to contemplate, to find what remains, the irreducible reality – the unity, the One, Sat, Brahman. First, then, the total and absolute dissolution of this creation of ignorance, the Creation which is ignorance, and attaining a status of nothingness, absolute annihilation, then in that blank ...

... proceeds by observation, by analysis, by experiment and arrives at a generalization by the application of scientific discoveries to life. Consciousness is the fundamental fact of the cosmos and the Sat Brahman is the true being that is Infinite. It is that which is the standing intuition on which this reason can base its operation. Then, perhaps, the reason can give us some clarification of this basis ...
... or Non-Existence or Nothingness (Asat) is based on a different spiritual experience from the one that is founded on the Vedantic view of the ultimate reality as Being, Existence, or the All (Sat, the Brahman). Similarly, the Hindu view that both the world and the notion of an individual soul are illusions, Maya, is based on a spiritual experience that is fundamentally different from the equally valid ...

This realisation in thought is not to be obtained by logic. All these various disabilities are due to one compelling cause; they are, because Sat, the truth of existence, Brahman, the reality of things which fills & supports their idea and form, is beyond the recognisable & analysable elements of idea and form.
